Eight people - including at least three teenagers - have tragically died in separate drowning incidents in England over what was the hottest weekend of the year so far.
The heatwave figures - reaching as high as 32C - prompted a warning from the Met Office as well as from Public Health England.
16-year-old Mohammad Abdul Hamid, from Carlisle - who drowned in the river Eden - and 19-year-old Ngapee Merenga, who died in Salford Quays, are among the victims to have been named, as of Monday evening.
Carlisle Police said a boy's body had been found near Stony Holme at around 11.45am on Sunday at Rickerby Park, near Stony Holme, with the teenager having been seen entering the water at 9pm the previous day.
Since then tributes have come flooding in for the teen, known as Hamid.
Also on Sunday, Greater Manchester Police confirmed that another teenager had died after getting into difficulty while swimming in Salford Quays.
Witnesses reported seeing a young man struggling in the water at about 4.40pm before a major search operation was launched.
North West Ambulance Service and Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service were also in attendance at the scene.
After hours of searching, the force confirmed that a 19-year-old man had died.
Tributes then began to be paid online for aspiring footballer Ngapee, who played for Manchester-based East Central Faclons, and had gone to the quays with four friends.
Detective Inspector Helen Bagnall, of GMP's Trafford district, said: "Firstly our thoughts are with this young man's family and friends, and the people who witnessed the tragic events.
"Sadly, this proves how dangerous going into unfamiliar water can be, especially when you can't see below the surface of what could be very cold water."
The tragic young men were just two of more than half a dozen whose bodies were recovered from the sea, rivers and quarries as people looked to enjoy the heatwave.
The latest confirmed victim was a man said to have been previously seen riding an inflatable unicorn and believed to be the same male reported getting into difficulty on Sunday afternoon at Pugneys Country park, in Wakefield, West Yorkshire.
Enquiries are ongoing to identify him.
Witnesses claimed he entered the water despite "no swimming" notices, reports the Sun.
Local councillor Michael Graham said: "Sadly, the body of a man has been recovered from the lake at Pugneys Country Park earlier today. Emergency services attended on Sunday after reports of a male in difficulty in the water."
A police statement issued on Monday afternoon read: "Enquiries are now ongoing to identify the deceased, but it is believed that this is the same male who was reported to be in difficulty in the water at about 1.15pm yesterday."
The seventh confirmed fatality was a man aged 29, who died after "accidentally getting out of his depth" in water near Blackpool on Saturday.
A desperate search lasting five hours was conducted by the RNLI and coastguard after the swimmer disappeared under the waves at around 3.25pm.
He had travelled to the coastal town from nearby Bolton to spend the day at the beach with friends as temperatures soared to 31C.
Earlier today it was announced another man's body was pulled from a disused quarry in Dove Holes, Buxton, in Derbyshire, on Sunday night.
Police confirmed they responded to calls at Victory Quarry at around 7pm of someone who "found himself in difficulty" in the water.
The force said firefighters and ambulance crews were also called to the scene but "despite extensive search and rescue efforts", the body was recovered just before 11pm.
Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service Paul Hawker said: "When the weather is hot, we know people are tempted to cool down by swimming and jumping into open water, however no matter how warm the weather is, the water remains cold which can cause the body to go into cold water shock, making it difficult for even the strongest swimmer.
"Hidden rocks and debris can also pose a threat as swimmers can easily get tangled and trapped."
Mr Hawker went on to say there were over 200 people at nearby Waterswallows Quarry on Saturday and "no-doubt countless others at quarries, reservoirs and rivers across the county".
He urged people to "stay safe and stay out of the water" with the hot weather set to continue.
Another man's body was also pulled from a lake in Crookes Valley Park in Sheffield on Sunday evening, several hours after being reported missing, local police said.
The victim had got into difficulty at around 7.31pm with his body recovered around midnight.
Thames Valley Police (TVP) also confirmed a teenage girl's body was brought from the water in Witney, near Oxford.
"As you might be aware, our officers attended Ducklington Lake, in Witney at 2.35pm today after a fear for welfare report concerning a teenage girl in the water," TVP West Oxon tweeted.
"Officers attended with both fire and ambulance services, and the girl was brought from the water and taken to hospital. Tragically, the girl later died in hospital."
North Yorkshire have, meanwhile, announced the body of a man in his 50s was recovered from the River Ouse after being called for help by kayakers.
In a statement the force said the victim was pulled from the water close to the Water End Bridge in York on Sunday evening.
"Police attended the scene, along with the fire and ambulance services, after being contacted by kayakers shortly before 5pm," it said.
